Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation [is] near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Ver. 1. Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice,] i.e., Repent ye, as ye were exhorted, Isa 45:6-7 and "bring forth fruits meet for repentance," Mat 3:8 "for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 3:2 Tit 2:12 Christ came to "call sinners to repentance," Mar 2:17 and to good works of all sorts, which are here called judgment and justice, as he himself is here called not only God's salvation, but his righteousness.
